3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 1/16/19

Kevin Durant, SF, Golden State Warriors

Price: $10,400

On the other side of that should-be shootout against the Pelicans, the Warriors offers a ton of upside as well, with a slate-high 124-point implied total.

Kevin Durant has only topped 50 FanDuel points in two of his last five games, but those five games include three blowouts of 27 points or more, with 30.5 minutes or fewer played in each. He topped 38 minutes in the other two contests.

The high implied total comes with a modest seven-point spread. This month, Durant has played in eight games with single-digit margins of victory, which have seen him average 38.8 minutes, 21.0 field goal attempts and 51.9 FanDuel points per game.

In a close matchup with the Pelicans and their 25th-ranked defensive rating, KD shouldn't have any issues turning those minutes and shots into big fantasy numbers.
